As the 117th Congress was sworn in, one thing was certain and obvious to the American people: the Democratic party no longer had any regard or respect for [[democracy]] and the [[human rights]] of other people. The Democratic party organization, from poll workers, to members of the [[civil service system]], to elected officials, had rejected the fundamental tenets of a [[two-party system]] and embraced full-fledged [[single party control|single party]] [[communism]] and [[totalitarianism]], including rigged elections, [[censorship]], lack of [[due process]] rights, a rejection of the right of free association, a perverted [[law enforcement]] and [[judicial]] system, wholesale domestic spying, a [[globalism|globalized]] and [[collectivist]] [[planned economy]], a rejection of [[God]] and [[religion]], and an attack on the rights of armed citizens to defend themselves.

Political scientist LaShonda Brenson, who tracks diversity on Capitol Hill, said only 14 percent of high-ranking positions in House members’ offices were held by people of color in 2018. According to ''Roll Call'' magazine, Brenson said there are reasons to hope. "This year’s crop of new lawmakers, who are mostly Republicans, have so far filled 23 percent of their top staff positions with people of color."<ref>https://www.rollcall.com/2021/02/25/where-am-i-black-staffers-describe-capitol-hill/</ref>
